Exactly, I light it just before shaping and proofing. I'll build an unreasonably roaring fire from very small pieces of wood that settles down to coals pretty quickly. Then the temperature can be maintained by adding fuel a tiny bit at a time until the dough is ready. It's fickle but more fun than working indoors.
